Resort Fashions III

It's my final week of resort fashions, and it has been fun! Coming up this week are some gorgeous halter and bra tops, swim suits, sundresses, summer ensembles, and more. I think the most interesting part of swimwear fashion is the evolution of the beach coat. In the 40s and 50s the beach coat was a must. In the 60s this gradually became the beach shirt. Eventually it simply became a beach wrap or no wrap at all but a towel. Here is a sneak peek for this week. Next week's theme: housecoats!
